How Slab Leak Cleanup Works in Alton

Wet porous material can support mold growth within 24 to 48 hours. The crew identifies damp areas that deserve prompt drying.

1. Remove accessible water

   The first pass reduces contact between water and finishes. A deeper moisture check follows extraction.

2. Measure hidden dampness

   A technician compares materials and nearby dry areas. This helps define the actual scope of the loss.

3. Address soaked layers

   A swollen board or saturated wall base may not be retained. Material condition directs removal decisions.

4. Track drying results

   The crew monitors the wet area during drying. Final measurements support the handoff to finishing trades.
